APS Underwater Assault Rifle

The APS Underwater Assault Rifle (APS stands for Avtomat Podvodnyy Spetsialnyy or "Special Underwater Automatic

Rifle") is an AK-47 derivative designed by the Soviet Union in the early 1970s as an underwater firearm. It was

adopted in 1975. It is made by the Tula Arms Plant in Russia. It is exported by Rosoboronexport.

Underwater, ordinary-shaped bullets are inaccurate and very short-range. The APS fires a steel bolt caliber 5.66 mm

(especially designed for this rifle and is often mistaken as 5.56 mm) and 120 mm (4.75 in) long. Its magazine holds

26 cartridges. The APS's barrel is not rifled; the fired projectile is kept in line by hydrodynamic effects. As a

result, the APS is somewhat inaccurate when fired out of water.

The APS has a longer range and more penetrating power than spearguns. This is useful in such situations as shooting

through reinforced dry suits, and protective helmets (whether air-holding or not), thick tough parts of breathing

sets and their harnesses, and plastic casings and transparent covers of some small underwater vehicles.

The APS is more powerful than a pistol, but is bulkier and takes longer to aim, particularly swinging its long

barrel and big flat magazine sideways through water.

The rising threat of attacks by frogmen in naval bases caused various anti-frogman techniques to be developed, and

in the USSR one of these was guard frogmen sent to stop the attackers. At first these guard frogmen were armed only

with knives and AK-type rifles. The AK-47 was carried in a waterproof case and could only be used on the surface,

so the only effective underwater weapon against enemy frogmen was the knife.


ASM-DT amphibious rifle

The introduction of the APS Underwater Assault Rifle solved the problem of how frogmen guarding a naval base could

be armed, but there remained the problem of how to arm naval Spetsnaz combat frogmen when they were deployed on

assault missions. These forces required a weapon able to provide them with a level of firepower that would be the

same whether they were on the surface or underwater. The APS was of little use out of water, because under those

conditions it was inaccurate, with an effective range of only 50 meters. In addition, when it was used out of the

water, it wore out quickly

The Punt Gun

FROM MILITARY.COM
A punt gun is a type of extremely large shotgun used in the 19th and early 20th centuries for shooting large numbers of waterfowl for commercial harvesting operations and private sport. Punt guns were usually custom-designed and so varied widely, but could have bore diameters exceeding 2 inches (51 mm) and fire over a pound (??0.45 kg) of shot at a time. A single shot could kill over 50 waterfowl resting on the water's surface. They were too big to hold and the recoil so large that they were mounted directly on the punts used for hunting, hence their name. Hunters would maneuver their punts quietly into line and range of the flock using poles or oars to avoid startling them. Generally the gun was fixed to the punt; thus the hunter would maneuver the entire boat in order to aim the gun. The guns were sufficiently powerful, and the punts themselves sufficiently small, that firing the gun often propelled the punt backwards several inches or more. To improve efficiency, hunters could work in fleets of up to around ten punts.

That punt gun is something I've never before seen nad it's really funny looking and looks rather hard to use!

Looks simular to this:



Is it by any chance based on the FN FNC?

Good post, that's the sort of the guns wanted for this thread.
